Pretty close to zero, says Chidambaram in jest

New Delhi, February 19: “Pretty close to zero” – this was how Home Minister P Chidambaram jocularly responded to a journalist who asked him to rate his performance.

This remark in a lighter vein by Chidambaram, often praised as one of the most efficient ministers in the government, made the journalist ask the reason behind it to which the minister did not reply.

In another light moment, to a query if he was looking for a bigger role in the government, he answered he was looking for a much smaller role.
